PetroChem Wire: Most recycled PE prices fall in October

HDPE HMW film MC pellet was sold at 51 cents per pound – 2 cents lower than mid-October deals. Regrind deals were done up to 46 cents per pound, still down a penny. HDPE frac melt pipe regrind was sold at 38-39 cents per pound in late October, down 2 cents from the previous month.

With dairy melt bale prices near 30 cents per pound in late October, down about 4 cents from September, there is bearish pressure on these prices in November. LD/LLD MC film pellet prices were steady at 40-42 cents per pound in late October.
